Parents flooded into a Montana school board meeting last night to give their two cents—some for, some against—on a new proposed sex-ed program that would bring the birds and the bees into kindergarten. Young kids would be taught the proper medical terms for “private parts” like "nipple, breast, penis, scrotum, and uterus," Fox News explains. In first grade, they’ll learn that sex can occur between two men, and by age 10 they’ll learn that intercourse can occur vaginally, orally, or anally.

Some parents were in favor of the proposal, the Helena Independent Record reports. “To bury our heads in the sand is to fail our children,” said one expecting father. But two middle school-aged girls argued that abstinence education would work better, and one mother complained that Planned Parenthood had helped draft the document. “Why are we allowing Planned Parenthood to help with this,” she demanded, “when they stand to profit from these people who will be their future clients?”

“Why are we allowing Planned Parenthood to help with this,” she demanded, “when they stand to profit from these people who will be their future clients?” Those people will be their future clients regardless. Not teaching children these things will only cause them to be uninformed, and consequently, more curious -- couple these two things together and you get poor judgement and poor decision making regarding sexual encounters and that is exactly the kind of shit that will lead them straight to planned parenthood. I'd rather see kids there getting tested for STDS and buying condoms than coming in with bellies bigger than their back packs.

Oh, I'm sorry to burst your bubble, prude mother, but Planned Parenthood is guaranteed to have the clientele of anyone who doesn't have health insurance. You know that thing called a pap smear you get to have because you have health insurance? STD tests? People can get that at a drastically reduced price at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Or how about a FREE pregnancy test, for those who DO want to have a child? But ok, I guess PP is a terrible place.

I knew these words before kindergarten. I asked mommy what that thing between my legs was. I ask her if she had one too. I asked why women had bigger chests than men. What I never thought was to put all this together and to come to the conclusion they were all for sex. Seriously kids are going to ask questions, give them the fucking answers. Teaching kids where babies come from won't make babies come from kids.
